Fansite Support - Information

RuneScape fansites are websites which are created by RuneScape enthusiasts in order to celebrate the game. They help support the game by engaging users and helping Jagex bring the RuneScape community together with events and discussions. They often provide guides and resources for all manner of RuneScape related topics.

These fansites help Jagex engage with our community. In order to help support this, we offer varied levels of support, depending on how much the site puts in. Simply put, the more fansites do for us, the more we'll do for them.

Our fansite support programme is divided into two tiers - Official Jagex Approved Fansites, and Recognised Fansites. As a fansite expands its library of resources and it's community it will move through these tiers, as a fansite progresses we will provide more support to help these communities get the most out of the game and Jagex.

RuneScape Community Management

Recognised Fansites

The owners of a Recognised Fansite focus solely on RuneScape and have a genuinecommitment towards growing their website, both in terms of the resources they offer and their communities. The owners recognize the importance of security and data management, with systems, processes and privacy policies in place. The fansite must have a functional website with up to date content where all content must be your own, and content must not be copied or plagiarized from any other website.

The owners/administrators should focus on promoting positive behaviour throughout the game & fansite world and offer their support to Jagex where possible.

In return we'll help get you connected with the wider fan site community via the official fan site forums, we'll be able to help promote your events as well as make sure you have access to the fan site support pack.
